This name is so beautiful and much better than "Katherine".

This is my name and people often say how much they like it. It is pronounced Kah-te-rina. Less common than other forms of any of the Kathryn/Catherine etc. variations. I am an Orthodox Christian and celebrate the Feast of Saint Katherine of Alexandria on the 25th of November. It is a good international name.

This is my name, but I go by Katie. I never really liked it, but I suppose it's better than other names that were popular when I was born. I'm glad it's not really trendy and isn't as plain as Katherine-- it definitely gives it a more ethnic twist.

My name. I pronounce it Kat-eh-REE-na, and it's an all right sort of name. It's got that foreignness factor down, and people are always calling me Katrina, which is annoying. I go by Katerina, Kateroula with family. I've tried to go by Kiki and Katie, but most people refuse to "bastardize" my "beautiful, exotic" name, so I've stopped trying. At least it works with my last name, which is long and multisyballic and even more foreign sounding than Katerina.

Katerina "Kat" Graham is a Swiss-born American actress, model, singer, and dancer. She is best known for her role of Bonnie Bennett on the TV series The Vampire Diaries.

I love just about every form of Catherine. Yekaterina, Ekaterina, Catherina, Katrina, and every other one. Just not this one or Catalina.

This is my name, and I don't know why but when people read it they often pronounce it like KA - TREE - NA. It gets very frustrating.

My name, Katria, is also a variant of Katerina. I have heard the name used by Ukrainians and Russians, alike. The Ukrainian spelling of Katria is Катр'я; I assume the Russian spelling is not much different.

My name is Katerina as well. It is rather annoying when a teacher calls my name on roll call and they call me Katrina. It is Kat-er-ee-na, not Ka-tree-na. Then my parents tease me and call me a hurricane and all. Otherwise, this is a great name with many nicknames. My friends call me KitKat, Kittycat, Kitty, Kittens, and even Kat. Not only that, but Katerina translates to pure, like Kathrynn. That is why I love my name.
